He is so spot on about ambiguity and lack of clarity being the basis for procrastination.

[@anniegoomes8585]

[@curiousone6129]

Thanks.

[@mrjohncrumpton]

Does anyone sit down and watch these like watching Netflix? I listen to these while doing something else, such as driving, washing the dishes or making food. I can't imagine sitting down to watch and give it 100% attention. I suspect this allows me to get through those boring tasks. How about you?

[@dsddala467]

He hits the nail on the head. This is why I hate technology. People think I am Luddite or "too old" and not technologically capable (and some ageist snottiness from Millennials, implying I am stupid because of my age of 52). But, I do so much better with analog calendars, address/phone books, writing letters and notes and reading hard copy things. My reading comprehension (and ability to focus on details) is greatly improved with actually books, papers and other print material. I can use technology, I just hate it.

[@SoldierOfTheRose]

Absolutely. I work remotely as a Contracts Administrator, and I'm much better at analyzing a contract if I can print it out and mark it up. I know the makers of technology mean well (bless their hearts), and I can use the Reviewing tools in Word very well...but I'm more effective with the printed page. I'm very grateful to have an employer who recognizes and accepts that. The company bought me a printer!

[@claravitale4510]

I love technology and I can use very well. Is user friendly!!!! My intuition helps.

[@susanjones7734]

I like both. I love technology but there are some things, like calendars, that I prefer on paper so I can see things side by side. But technology has truly changed my life for the better. No more losing keys because my car and home doors can be opened with a pin number. Taking pictures of papers helps me to be able to find things. If I don’t have it on paper, or if I can’t find it, I have a picture of it on my phone. All my recipes and manuals are digital so I don’t have to look through files of paper. And I love being able to turn the heat and lights off and on without getting up when I forget to turn them off. I send myself text messages with PIN numbers or appointments.

[@katyoduinn3452]

Me too I've got a huge sand filled timer to chunk tasks as I can't stand phone or clock alerts.... also got an old-school barometer for weather, and a chalk blackboard for tasks

[@Advocate1794]

​​@@SoldierOfTheRose I do contracts too and I really have to be able to print them out in order to be able to orient myself in the document and comprehend the text.

[@Investigativebean]

I have no space left on my google and like 1000 notes saved one my phone. Some are recipes, some groceries, books, times when I have given my kids medications, even web links for learning materials. Much to my surprise, I home school my 3rd grader. If you would have told me that would be in my future 4 years ago I would’ve said that you’re delusional. Medication is what allows me to implement that externalization, and it quiets my busy brain so that if I do get off task, I can have the self awareness to stop & reroute to get back to where i left off. I can follow through to completion. Time doesn’t slip away so easily while I get sucked into some void. Quitting Facebook and Instagram has been immense as well.

[@angelas.goodman9891]

I rarely do Facebook now, no Instagram or Tik tok.

[@lucybuck8373]

Ah, the time thing… now I know that I’m not the only ADHD’er for whom large chunks of time slip away in nano seconds!

[@LoveLife-gv8jg]

ADDitude is an amazing platform

[@Lizamill]

I began tutoring my adult son when he reentered college during the pandemic. He and I both have ADHD and often run into problems approaching his studies. Together we have been able to keep him on track and get past barriers that had previously held him back. Things like understanding where instructions are located, adapting to different organization scenarios for each online class, and going between topics without falling apart. He has earned a 4.0 average over the past three semesters, encouraging him to keep going. Still, it is always a struggle--we really needed this information and I am so grateful to have a greater understanding of how our ADHD minds operate.

[@LoveLife-gv8jg]

That's great!

[@raghuljayaprakash7244]

Good work. It's challenge you've managed it well, applying right concepts

[@curiousone6129]

I had an office and personal assistant for most of my working life. My assistant took care of office organization, supplies and equiptment etc., and did the same for tasks in my personal life such as picking up things at the cleaners, taking my car for gas, inspections, repairs etc. I was able in this way to off load a lot of tasks that were difficult for me due to ADHD. Because I can no longer afford this luxury during retirement. Once i starting being responsible for these tasks myself, i was really struggling, thinking i was getting Alzheimers, or going crazy. Once i found out i have ADHD, it was actually a relief. Ive read everything i can to help me learn about it. I've become aware of when ADHD is the cause or contributing to any problem. This awareness has taken most of the worry, frustration, guilt, and anxiety away. Fortunately, my spouse is very understanding and helpful. I actually think it has made it easier on him to know why i have been struggling.

[@spocksdaughter9641]

Too painfully familar to listen in one go. Perfect timing to receive just failed AGAIN in legal UK court case to pay for report accessments proving how invisible I remain. The truth so well described, threw me into serious grieving. Age 71, far to high functioning Aspie for my own good. My reality is invisible!

[@Investigativebean]

I just talk out loud to myself 😂 My mother did it my entire childhood, so it became normal. When I did work, I worked on my own as a mobile groomer so it didn’t matter if it is socially acceptable. When I do it at a store I get some looks 😂. Sometime I will talk to strangers or employees. Externally stating my next goal or baby step just to myself is useful. Even if I have lists organized in aisle order, I speak to myself.

[@mrjohncrumpton]

I'd you hold your phone to your ear while talking it looks like you're having a conversation with someone.

[@Investigativebean]

@@mrjohncrumpton ironically, I have mistaken other people as speaking to me when really they were using an earpiece hidden behind their hair or whatever 🤔 Phone to ear is definitely the way to go lol.

[@tanchella]

I also talk to myself, especially at work when I'm filling prescriotions. Other pharmacists can't understand why do I go to the stockroom and bring controlled drugs for the script one by one when everyone brings the lot at once. My working memory is short and I always prioritise accuracy over speed. No mistakes, my system is working for me 😊

[@Musecollective]

“And I mean frequent”. 😂 Love it.

[@Ikr2025]

Jeff Copper describes my experience exactly. I’m not dx but I have self dx at age 51. I have always felt I’m fairly intelligent but there’s always been a problem in converting it into action and results. Ambiguous problems are exactly when I procrastinate (aka find housework etc to do) and I do find breaking down complex ambiguous tasks causes more mental fatigue than I think it should. I can really relate to the need to reframe issues as ‘difficult’ (for me) that I have previously told myself should be ‘easy’. Leading to frustration when I can’t easily or quickly complete them. And sometimes conflict with others who also think I should have completed tasks sooner.

[@ThatADHDKid]

I love the jump to conclusions doodle lol The presentation was great and I enjoyed the reference/content from Dr. Barkley. His presentation changed my life. I was diagnosed at 28, and finally had something I could share with my family in a way that they could understand. I had to beg them to listen to it with me but when he got through his introduction they went quiet and didn't speak for almost 20 minutes. It began to make sense and my mom who is 70, also has ADHD, kind of saw herself as well as she's undiagnosed. Great stuff

[@eviewilde354]

This is the first time I've come upon this channel. Like one of the clients mentioned in the talk, I, too, am a 67 year old woman who only just got formerly diagnosed with ADHD for the first time a month ago. I always suspected it though, & some of my (now adult) children have been diagnosed with it, but because we're all relatively 'high functioning' - at least in some areas - we've all just muddled along as best we can. But each of us also have areas of our executive functioning where we don't do well. Keeping up with 'paperwork' & emails & filing, etc, has always been a challenge. All that to say, good talk! Very helpful. Thanks Jeff. Subscribed.

[@SoldierOfTheRose]

I'm 52. Not officially diagnosed and see no reason to be. (When you know, you know.) My mother recently said, "All your life, you've struggled to survive. It's no wonder you're tired!"

[@carinamolitor92]

Really great Webinar, it gives the Background for why Sometimes I function so much better than people around me, and sometimes I struggle enormously until I find a different way to do it. So helpful. Would love more of these information.

[@curiousone6129]

I find it so much easier to fall into a task, while doing something else. In other words, I randomly find something that interests me and would require action and effort to do. I can easily set off on the side quest, even a difficult one, and enjoy the process without any anxiety. What may also happen is i lose interest while working on the side quest, and abandon it. Somehow both of these actually are easier for me than starting work on the main project. I get a boost from completing a task, or if i stopped before finishing, I get a boost because i finished part. I rationalize by saying I'll finish later. I also really enjoy getting things organized and prepared to begin a project, much more than to actually work on the project. When I finish a big project, after extended procrastination, I dont get a boost. Instead, I just feel a sense of relief.

[@bethprather9241]

I really needed this today because Ive been extremely challenged this week and it is a HUGE task I can do om my meds ususally. But a lot of extra stuff has happened and I keep freezing up.. stuck and I know we procrastinate but you gave me plan .. It will work I hope

[@shamanicsoulcoach9588]

This has brought me such clarity

[@jessicacharnley334]

Omg. I am yet to finish the video but does this explain why I have to talk out loud when processing/ working through steps and stages. I always thought I was such a weirdo for needing to do this and it’s so validating to hear that part on working memory

[@bethprather9241]

I do too and the older I get or I'm tired I call it think outloud.. My husband has decided I'm loosing my mind.. I've sent him articles but I told mY doctor., this week and he works well with mental health. But he looked really weird at me when I stated that. So I've been taking to myself negative for 3 days. DID he say it is ok for us to or he keeps saying to talk outloud as in another person. It is a task.

[@bethprather9241]

By what he states we need to talk or think outloud but he is stating when we are home and can't. I TALK OUT TO MYSELF SOME TO FOCUS

[@dutyfreeadventures5924]

The benefit of email for ADHDers is precisely that it doesn't require ANY working memory because you always have your references in front of you. When you have a conversation face to face it's rude to reference your notes and you have to keep everything in your head.

[@bethprather9241]

The entire email and text part he is older and if you are the Boss ... He discussed, she can pick it but employees can't and all jobs require tech and it's not going away. It took me a long time. I also talk too much and if I had call someone I would get off task..

I don’t know what the order of the alphabet is unless I repeat the whole lot and run through the sequence of letters in my head to get to the appropriate letter. I know B is near the start and Z is at the end, but the ones in the middle are a black hole. I can't see the sequence at all.

[@ExkupidsMom]

There are a lot of great points in here and some very helpful ways of thinking about my ability to focus and be productive. One problem I have with it is that this does not take those of us who are introverted and have ADHD. I do not want to talk things over with anybody until I have had time to think and understand my own ideas. Without that time, I will just roll over to whatever someone else thinks, which may not be the right solution at all. I know we're a minority (25% of people), but I think we need a different strategy.

This is a great one also as help against the self-torture, or otherwise in the end indifference, that could hit those bothered enough not to be much able to reach possible goals, or "dreams", that goals then could possibly widely be named. How ever: Regarding "stimulation by reward" BE SURE to avoid rewarding kids (or anyone else, self included) with sweets! It's time to further realise that exchanging all refined sugars (and I mean all!) with fats and starges is greatly helpful also to those bothered by ADHD, as to many others suffering from one or more dysfunctions of the brain. Though, take one such life saving advice, do not then extend further with MCT-oil, as "ketones" if approching ketosis already may not only be harming due to the toxic breakdown of fatty acid surplusses, but will also be risky, in particular what the glucose adopted brain censerns, but also where ketosis is actual. Otherwise: Teach the body and the brain to make use of fats, saturated and mono-unsaturated, and be sure not only to take advantage of the to the lesser teared and easier fed mitochondria, but also no doubt of the lesser teared and easier fed brain. In fact, provided also a fiber-fed gut, lowering medicine doses will take one further on the path to a well functioning short term memory, how ever hard it may be to reach the "well planned life" for anyone not receiving the special attention also required.
